1. Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,  
limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for future  
reference.  
2. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.  
3. Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a three-  
hole grounded electrical receptacle or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in  
accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.  
4. Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet  
the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).  
5. Avoid dangerous environments. DO NOT operate this machine in wet or open flame environments.  
Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.  
6. Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.  
7. Make sure the machine power switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to machine.  
8. Keep the work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.  
9. Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept at a safe distance while operating unit.  
10.Childproof your workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.  
11.Stop and disconnect the machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.  
-4-  
12.DO NOT force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.  
13.Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.  
14.Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair  
away from moving parts.  
15.Remove adjusting keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check  
that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.  
16.Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must,  
Extension Cord Requirements  
examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good  
TABLE 1  
condition. Use TABLE 1 to determine the correct  
length and gauge of extension cord needed for your  
particular needs. The amp rating of the motor can be  
found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage,  
be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will  
be using. If you use an extension cord with an  
undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive  
heat will be generated within the circuit, increasing  
the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Always  
use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and  
connected ground wire. Immediately replace a  
damaged extension cord.

followed. Do not risk your  
safety by not reading!  
ALWAYS secure any aprons, clothing, and long hair away from the intake side of the air cleaner unit  
and any moving parts.  
ALWAYS research the dangers of the specific species of wood you are working with as dust from  
some woods are toxic and can make you sick, cause cancer, and lead to long-term respiratory  
problems.  
ALWAYS use a respirator along with a dust collection system when operating woodworking  
machinery, and keep the filters of your air cleaner unit clean for optimum performance.  
ALWAYS keep your hands and tools away from the fan output screen during fan operation.  
ALWAYS turn the air cleaner OFF, let the fan and motor come to a complete stop, and unplug the

ELECTRICAL  
110V Operation  
Grounding  
The SHOP FOX® Model W1690 Deluxe Ceiling  
Mounted Air Cleaner uses a 110V, single-phase,

HP motor that draws approximately 3 amps  
Any electrical outlet and  
at the high speed setting.  
circuit that you plug your  
machine into must be  
grounded. Serious injury  
and/or fire may occur if this  
warning is ignored!  
Make sure the supply circuit, circuit breaker, or  
fuse can carry the additional 3 amp load since  
other machines may be using the same circuit. If  
the total amperage load of all machines and the  
air cleaner unit exceeds the amperage rating of  
the circuit breaker or fuse, use a different  
circuit that can carry the load.  
Ground this machine! The electrical cord  
supplied with the Model W1690 Air Cleaner has a  
ground pin. If your power receptacle does not  
have a ground pin hole, have the receptacle  
replaced by a qualified electrician, or have an  
appropriate adapter installed and grounded  
properly.  
DO NOT modify an existing low-amperage circuit  
by only replacing the circuit breaker with a  
breaker rated for a higher amperage. The  
breaker and the complete circuit must be  
replaced by a qualified electrician.  
NOTICE  
When using an electrical plug adapter, make  
sure the adapter is grounded.  
Extension Cords  
We do not recommend using an extension cord  
with most equipment because the cord can  
generate heat that may cause fire or circuit  
damage. If you must use an extension cord, use  
the guidelines below.  
NEVER cut the ground pin off so your air cleaner  
unit will plug into a non-grounded receptacle.  
See Figure 1. Remember, an adapter with a  
grounding wire does not guarantee the air  
cleaner unit is grounded. A ground source must  
always be verified in the electrical circuit within  
the wall or conduit.  
•Use a cord rated for Standard Service  
(Grade S)  
•Use a cord that is 100 feet or less only  
•Use a cord with a ground pin  
•Use an undamaged cord only

Shop Preparation  
Working Clearances: Consider your current  
and future shop needs with respect to the  
machinery and the dust collection system  
used. Make sure that the inlet and the outlet  
have at least 12" of clearance between  
obstructions as not to restrict the air flow.  
The suction must be farther than 3 feet from  
vents as the filter, if to close to vents, may  
draw and filter air that is not from your work  
area. You may have to create or modify other  
shop ducting to achieve the correct working  
clearances and airflow.  
DO NOT operate this air  
cleaner unit at a location  
where flammable fuels,  
solvents, or other volatile  
chemicals may exist. Since  
these products have a low  
flash point, the fan motor  
can ignite the fumes and  
cause an explosion and  
severe personal injury!  
Outlets: Make sure the electrical circuits have  
the capacity to handle the amperage  
requirements of the new air cleaner unit.  
Refer to Page 7 for more information.  
Electrical outlets should be located near the  
unit so power or extension cords are clear of  
high-traffic areas.  
DO NOT allow untrained  
people in your shop! Make  
sure shop entrances are  
locked and machines are  
correctly turned off with  
lock-out devices when  
not in use.  
Otherwise,  
injury or death can occur.  
Dust System  
When used in conjunction with a dust collector  
system, the Model W1690 Deluxe Ceiling  
Mounted Air Cleaner efficiently removes most  
fine wood particles in the air that many dust  
collectors cannot.  
Machine Mobility: This air cleaner unit has a  
balanced fan and uses digital components.  
Move this air cleaner unit with care, and do  
not drop or handle it roughly.  
Operating Location: Operating this air  
cleaner unit in the incorrect environment can  
cause an explosion or respiratory damage to  
you and others. This air cleaner unit is only  
designed to help remove very fine wood  
particles from the air. It is not a dust  
collector, so take all necessary safety  
precautions. The operating location must be  
free of volatile fumes from fuels, paints,  
pesticides, chemicals, smoke, and other  
gasses; including an environment free of  
silica, metal, asbestos, hazardous bacterium,  
and other particles.  
USE the correct dust  
collection system in your  
shop. This air cleaner unit is  
not a dust collection system  
and CANNOT be modified as  
such. Ignoring this warning  
can result in short and long-  
term respiratory illness.  
For additional information on the correct dust  
collection system, additions, or modifications;  
contact your Woodstock International dealer for  
a copy of the Dust Collection Basics handbook  
and available accessories.  
Locate the air cleaner unit where the signal  
path for the remote control is unobstructed  
and is used within 75 feet of the control  
panel. Often, the optimum location for this  
air cleaner unit is at an overhead central shop  
location and not at the corners.
